I laid the blanket there on the shoreline
And saw the water shine with the moon
What kind of fool would fail to notice
The best thing shining was you
Oh I laughed kinda nervous
And felt you move closer
Felt the world unwind
Once was a stranger, not quite a lover
But steadily crossing the line

Carry me far away
Don’t hold back, I won’t break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time, every time

Well the voice in my head said, what are you doing
I thought, not listening to you
You see I’m taking a chance
Thinking about flying over the blue
And it’s crazy to be this out of practice
And have it all come so naturally
Don’t you love knocking logic right off its axis
And watch it float far out to sea

Carry me far away
Don’t hold back, I won’t break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time, every time
Every time, every time

So now here I am, reading my fortune
In the worn lines of your hand
I see a lost unwanted orphan
Headed right for the Promised Land
Carry me far away
I won’t, I won’t break

Carry me far away
Don’t hold back, I won’t break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time, every time
Will get me every time, every time
